Before vacating a residence in West Hyde, a lot of people contact us for our end of tenancy cleaning service. Our cleaning experts are, naturally, on call to help people who need a cleaning delivered before they move in a new home or office as well. Our company offers an end of tenancy cleaning service, which is equivalently suitable for both situations. If you need a carpet cleaning there would be no problem for us to arrange it, although it is not covered by our end of tenancy cleaning service. What is more, we use the latest available special equipment and the excellent carpet cleaning results will surely impress you. Our company puts in practice two highly innovative methods of carpet cleaning, to suit the specific qualities of your carpets. All you need to do is request the carpet cleaning service – along with end of tenancy cleaning or by itself. If you wish to benefit from both services simultaneously, we can prepare a cleaning package for you, which purpose is to save you time and financial resources. Our experienced cleaners will figure out which type of cleaning – a steam cleaning or a dry one – would be beneficial for your carpet, upon arriving at the property. All grime, dirt and stains, even the ones you feared would be impossible to treat with any success whatsoever will be effectively removed with the help of our well-tried methods, while refreshing the carpet's colours and preserving it. The combined effects of these two services will exceed your expectations – we give you our word that the results will be great.
We at End Of Tenancy understand how chaotic the end of tenancy can be and that sometimes you need to find an end of tenancy cleaning at the very last moment.
It goes without saying it is better to plan the entire process ahead of time for many reasons, some of which are the lower possibility to miss or leave behind something valuable, the wider choice between moving and cleaning services in West Hyde, and last but not least your own peace of mind. But if you did not organise the things any sooner and the time to move has almost come yet you still have not found an end of tenancy cleaning service, we can do the clean on short notice, unless we are fully occupied at the moment, any day of the week. We work without a day-off and our teams operate with extended working hours so we could bring our service to your house or flat when you prefer. Contact us to a moving in cleaning or a post tenancy cleaning – we will dispatch our professional cleaners who will take care of everything in a punctual, efficient and satisfactory manner.
Save yourself a great amount of work, stress and exhaustion with the professional end of tenancy cleaning service of our company in West Hyde. What is more, it will ensure you that you will take the money you paid for your security deposit back. Landlords demand of all tenants to leave their property in a perfect order, and this means not only that their belongings shouldn't be broken or damaged, but also that every single detail has to be well cleaned. If you don't have the opportunity to achieve that, you may as well let go of your security deposit. Of course, no one wants to lose their money. In all probability, you will encounter several serious issues, if you choose to clean with no extra help. For example, you may find the time to cover some of the basics, such as throwing away the garbage, dusting and vacuuming the rooms that you have just vacated. But you may be prevented from performing a thorough cleaning, since you will unfortunately be too exhausted by all the exhausting tasks and arrangements, related to the moving process.
What cleaning activities does the end of tenancy cleaning service in West Hyde incorporate at the office space (with all its work spaces, meeting spaces and support spaces)? The employees of End Of Tenancy will dust and polish all interior windows, window-sills, doors, door-knobs, door-frames and sills. They will clean any spider webs from the walls and ceilings of all premises. Our employees will thoroughly wipe all skirtings, as well as all fittings and fixtures, lamps, light switches. The picture frames, coat stands, reception and conference tables, cupboards, storage units, pedestals, drawers, cabinets, bookracks, racks, the desks will be all dusted and polished. The same applies for the top surface of the indoor units of the A/Cs, office equipment, such as computers, scanners, fax and copy machines, and so on. Every piece of office furniture,mentioned by our customers, like boards and computer and conference chairs, reception and reception sofas, and so on, will be cleaned as well by the outstanding professional housekeepersof End Of Tenancy. Our cleaners also clean the waste baskets and all the floors. The end of tenancy cleaning service also includes a thorough cleaning of the office kitchen area and the office toilets. Of course, our end of tenancy cleaning service is tailored to satisfy your needs so in case that there are more items which you would like to be a part of the service, we will clean them too.

Richmonders of all faiths and backgrounds are uniting against the increasing Islamophobia, xenophobia, and divisive rhetoric. "Standing Together" is an initiative to bring diverse groups together to speak out and stand with the Muslim community and others who are marginalized. On January 10 more than 600 people responded to this call and filled the sanctuary of Congregation Beth Ahabah, one the oldest Synagogues in Richmond, VA. Under the leadership of Jonathan Zur and the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, Hope in the Cities joined a coalition of community organizations and more than 50 faith leaders from across the region in launching the call.
Following a press conference at the Islamic Center of Virginia in mid-December and a full page advertisement in the Richmond Times-Dispatch signed by more than 100 community and faith leaders on December 27, Congregation Beth Ahabah asked to host the January 10 public event. Welcoming the crowd, Rabbi Martin P. Beifield, Jr. said, "This is a journey we are on, a process. We are called to travel together and strengthen our community." In response, Imam Ammar Amonette of the Islamic Center spoke of the "universal invitation to come together to serve God and to serve humanity." He urged the audience to "find common ways to stand up for justice, equality and human rights."
The Rev. Dr. John W. Kinney of Virginia Union University spoke of the need to go to the root of what divides. "Gender, race and religion become a conceptual framework for constant patterns of separation."
A panel representing different faiths picked up the conversation. Reflecting on the discrimination they or their community have experienced, Anita Elcock, who chairs the board of trustees for Tawheed Prep School, an Islamic school in Richmond's North Side, recounted a story from a Muslim woman who was followed by someone in a local grocery store. When she finally turned around to confront the person, they asked, "Are you ISIS?" She responded, "Are you the KKK?" This story was met with much laughter of recognition.
"What religion is God?" asked Dr. Baljit S. Sidhu of the Sikh community. He encouraged people to look at the inside of people rather than the outward symbols such as a turban or head scarf. Amy Russell of the Unitarian Universalist Community church urged people to look for the divine spark in each individual.
Rabbi Jesse Gallop remarked that it is easy to remember when we were victims, "But when were we the perpetrators?" Anita Elcock talked about the need to address prejudice in our own lives, in our families and the groups we associate with. Prejudice starts in the home and spreads from there. "It is important to have purity in our own hearts and homes."
The audience broke into small dialogue groups to discuss what "standing together" means to them. Participants seemed eager to talk and to meet one another across the social divides.
Imad Damaj of the Virginia Muslim Coalition for Public Affairs spoke together with Rev. Charles Swardley of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy. They wrapped up the conversation by describing the intentional dialogue they have been involved in over seven years. It takes time to nurture relationships, to listen deeply to one another. We need to be willing to approach the hard questions and together resist the rumor mills. Charles Swardly highlighted the support given to the Muslim community when they wanted to build a mosque in one of the counties. A large crowd showed up at the meeting of the board of Supervisors, several clergy spoke and the most compelling argument for the mosque was made by Rabbi Romer. They did not succeed that night but five years later with full community support the board voted unanimously for the mosque.
Virginia Senator Tim Kaine closed the evening. He had arrived home the night before from a congressional trip to Vienna, Jerusalem, Ramallah and Istanbul. They had gone to be on the ground and learn firsthand about the crisis the Middle East but were constantly confronted by the question, "What is happening in America?" There was much concern about the political rhetoric and fear mongering. Senator Kaine was happy to be able to describe this occasion that he would be attending on his return. It made him realize that the world expects America to make diversity work. "They look to us to give an example." Discrimination often springs from a need to blame somebody for suffering we are experiencing. Suffering tests us. He asked, "Are we going to stay true to our principles even under stress?"
The audience left with a commitment to continue building bridges and to find ways to take action together.

Terry Hershey Park Emergency Repair Project
The banks of Buffalo Bayou in Terry Hershey Park experienced severe erosion during major floods of 2016 followed by a 3-month release of stormwater from the Addicks and Barker reservoirs. These conditions led to over a dozen locations on the north side of Buffalo Bayou being deemed public safety hazards. The Harris County Flood Control District began construction in September 2016 to address these damages.
After several months of work along the north side of Buffalo Bayou between Beltway 8 and Kirkwood, the Flood Control District is pleased to announce that slope repairs were completed in July 2017. Additionally, the portion of Terry Hershey Park east of Wilcrest that was closed for construction has reopened to the public.
Harris County Precinct 3 is now completing repairs to park trails and improvements west of Wilcrest, which they expect to finish by the end of July 2017. Once this work is finished, project signage will be removed to indicate that the remainder of the park has reopened. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding while this final work is underway.

The Fiery Furnaces Leaky Tunnel Lyrics
I pulled my kerchief out of my pocket
Wiped my nose and said hello
I bought a tambourine at the millennium dome
It jangled 2000 times in a rowI caught a cold when I was way down south
Standing out in the heat
Now my eyes are all itchy
And I can't tell which way to walk down the streetI'm stumbling through the crosswalk
And I'm humming in the din
And when I get to the other side
I'm gonna jangle my tambourine againI fished my microphone out of Regent's Canal
Heading from Little Venice to Greenwich
Dirty boy said let's make in love in the water
I said, No thanks, pal.

The Fiery Furnaces signed with the Rough Trade Records music label in 2002, and recorded their debut album in the same year.
Gallowsbird's Bark, released in the autumn of 2003, garnered critical praise for its clever wordplay and original songwriting.
Anybody who thought they had the band pinned at that point was quickly proven wrong with the 2004 release Blueberry Boat, a rock-operatic album whose track lengths were often six minutes long or longer.
While some critics adored the album for its vast complexity, others found it all a little too overwhelming.
After releasing EP in 2005 (considered a full-length album because of its 41 minute play time, but is "officially" an EP) the band then released two further albums - Rehearsing My Choir (2005), a radio-dramaesque concept album about the Friedbergers' Greek grandmother; and Bitter Tea (2006), which is a comparably more conventional album built on still-bent song structures, but with more pop-oriented stylings.
In October 2007 the band released their fifth full-length album, Widow City.
- Their name is both a reference to the film "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968)" and to the book of Daniel in the Bible.
- Matthew Friedberger has also released two solo albums simultaneously.
- Eleanor Friedberger is rumoured to be in a relationship with Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, because the song "Eleanor Put Your Boots On" from their second album is about her.
- Due to the garage blues elements of the band's sound and the fact that the band members are siblings, The Fiery Furnaces was often compared by the press to The White Stripes (The White Stripes sometimes promote themselves as siblings, though they are not).

Actress Shailene Woodley has struck a plea deal for trespassing during a Dakota Access Pipeline protest.
The Divergent star will plead guilty to one count of disorderly conduct in return for a year of unsupervised probation, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ.
Woodley was arrested in October (16) for refusing to leave the protest site in Standing Rock, where she and 100 other activists were hoping to halt construction of a $3.8 billion (GBP3.04 billion) pipeline.
The actress livestreamed her arrest on Facebook and initially pleaded not guilty to criminal trespass and engaging in a riot - both misdemeanors that carry a maximum punishment of a month in jail.
Shailene was due in court on 25 January (17), but the hearing was delayed until 22 February (17), and the trial was since pushed back again, to 31 March (17), because of a scheduling conflict.
Now it looks as if there won't be a trial at all following the plea deal.

Drake Gets Hyped For NBA Finals With Throwback 'Degrassi' Pic That'll Give You Feels
If there's one person who's totally psyched for the 2017 NBA Finals, it's 'Champagne Papi' himself – Drake! Drizzy got into the mood for the Cleveland Cavaliers-Golden State Warriors rematch by sharing an amazing pic from his 'Degrassi' days!
It wasn't a Thursday when Drake, 30, shared his throwback, but in this case, we can let it slide. After all, the "One Dance" rapper just couldn't hold back his enthusiasm for seeing the Golden State Warriors battle the Cleveland Cavaliers for the NBA championship. "That feeling when finals basketball is 24 hours away," Drake captioned a May 31 Instagram photo, one that showed his Degrassi: The Next Generation character Jimmy Brooks holding a basketball. With Game 1 set for June 1, it's clear that Drake – like every other NBA fan – is pumped to see LeBron James, take on Steph Curry, 29, for the third Finals in a row.
Hopefully, Drizzy got some courtside seats for this series, because if there's anything that can make the Warriors Vs. Cavs Part 3 matchup any better, it's Drake. The man is a NBA Superfan and he's tight with both Steph and LeBron. In fact, Drake famously gave a shout out to both Steph and his wife, Ayesha Curry, 28, in his song, "0 to 100," according to Genius. Drake rapped that he's been "Steph Curry with the shot" and he's "been cooking with the sauce, Chef Curry with the pot."
Now, the "6 God" is a die-hard Toronto Raptors fan, and this loyalty has often put him at odds with LeBron. The Raptors usually face (and lose to) the Cavs in the NBA playoffs. During the Cavaliers' run for the 2016 NBA championship, they struggled against the Raptors – which gave fans one of the best moments of the postseason. Drake hilariously trolled LeBron, using his renowned trash-talking skills to tease King James and the rest of the Cavs.
Granted, Drake would end up getting clowned, as the Cavs not only beat the Raptors in 2016, they completely swept the Toronto team in the 2017 playoffs. It was LeBron's turn to troll Drake, per For The Win. After defeating the Raptors in Game 3 (while in Toronto) LeBron ran into Drake. King James, still riding the high of victory, reportedly asked Drake, "Where are we headed tonight? Margaritas on me?" While this seems like LeBron being a jerk, he may have been serious, as Drake brought King James on stage with him during an Ohio concert. Well, if the Cavaliers somehow beat the Warriors, expect Drake and LeBron to break out the Jimmy Buffet and have a weeklong trip to "Margaritavile."
Are you psyched to see the NBA Finals, HollywoodLifers? Do you want to see Drake at the Finals? Who do you think will win the championship?

Black Satin Aluminium with internal Copper AnodisingBlack Satin aluminium with White InsideWhite Satin Aluminium with internal Copper AnodisingWhite Satin Aluminium with White inside
At first glance, this original design could be called an 'original'. But once lit, the Here Comes the Sun pendant lamp takes on a magical quality.
Darkness looses its rawness and metamorphoses into something reassuring.
Multiple Suspensions realise a technical solution that couples function with design harmony.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER - Bertrand Balas, born in Toulouse in 1935 likes to watch the sun set over the Garonne river. With that musical lilt typical of the south, he likes to say: 'It does me good' At the same time as Balas was designing his lamp, in the Spring of 1969, the Beatles were having difficulties, tension was running high and relations between the members distinctly frosty. All of which prompted George Harrison to write Here comes the sun. After the cold and ice of the winter it is always good to feel the first rays of sunshine.
The song came out in 1970, just a few days before Bertrand Balas' lamp, prompting him to change the name, just in case the Beatles might take offence. In fact, they could have taken the stage.

A lasting tribute.
Rockitecture offers many different options for headstones to memorialize your loved ones. We work with two different quarries located in Idaho to provide custom sandstone and granite options, as well as Tecstone Granite, one of the largest suppliers of headstones in the U.S. for stones options that cannot be quarried locally.
Contact us to get a design and quote for your project.
How to Order
- Call, CONTACT US or visit our showroom to discuss your project with a Rockitecture representative.
- Choose a type stone. We typically use sandstone or granite that is quarried locally in Idaho. The sandstone can be easily cut to the shape and dimensions required for your project, so it is not always necessary to pick the exact piece of stone before we do a proof.
- Our designer will provide you with a proof emailed through our online system.
- Approve your design or request changes for your project online.
- Once the design is approved the stone goes into production. Sit back and relax while our experienced engravers produce your custom sign.
- After about two to three weeks, you will receive a call that your stone has been completed. At this point you can either pick up your stone or schedule delivery. Rockitecture can deliver and place your stone anywhere in the Treasure Valley, or use one of our LTL carriers to ship it out of the area for you to place it. Local deliveries usually cost around $300-$500 for a 1,000-10,000 pound stone. Deliveries for larger stones are quoted on a case by case basis.

Manufactured by Alessi Holsters
Each Holster is Hand Made in the U.S.A
Posted by Mike Bardin on 22nd Apr 2014
This holster was purchased for a S&W 325 Thunder Ranch. And man did it turn out great. I couldn't be anymore pleased with the outcome. Absolutely worth every penny. Also Alessi Holsters proved to me their loyalty and care for the customer. I had moved since I ordered the holster, and the week that it shipped was the week I submitted my change of address. Sadly it was already headed back to NY by the time the change hit. Alessi not only was extremely helpful in tracking down my holster but returned it to me with no further shipping changes. Overall fantastic leather work for an even better company!

So, why am I here?
This blog has taken on many forms and shapes throughout its life, largely because I am indecisive. However, its first and foremost goal is to share a little about myself and my faith. I wanted to focus on my journey through weight loss and health, but then I realized I am so much more than that – and so shall be the blog.
Here, I will share a bit of my testimony – a small glimpse into who I am and how I found Jesus, and how I have reconciled my love of Him with my love of science.
I have been overweight my entire life, although not always unhealthy. When I was at my thinnest and healthiest, I weighed in between 160 and 180 pounds. I was technically overweight, but I was extremely healthy. I was active, walked everywhere, ate well, and looked good. It is for this reason that I place very little stock in the government's BMI calculator. At that weight, I was overweight, and right on the edge of "obese." In fact, it was a running gag that I was "obese" when I never looked or felt it. I could walk 4 miles in under an hour (and often did) and had no trouble doing steps, jogging, or breathing. Even my doctor was never concerned. My blood work was always perfect – everything was in check.
And then one day, it wasn't.
I was 20 years old and gaining weight at an alarming rate. The doctor began to lecture me about exercise and nutrition. I adamantly argued that there was no way this was all my fault. I didn't drive back then – I used to walk back and forth to college (which was four miles from home) and back and forth to work (a mile from home), plus I was in Phys Ed classes in school. So finally, he tested my thyroid, and found that it was seriously underactive.
By that time I had gained about 30 pounds, however something in my brain never clicked that I looked or felt any differently. To this day, I have this strange view of myself. Whereas some people look into a mirror and think they look worse than they do, I will look into a mirror and think I look better than I do. It isn't until I see a photo or something that I realize there's a problem.
This may seem like a good problem to have – psychologically. I assure you it isn't. You see, while you are looking into the mirror, feeling good about yourself, it does wonders for your self-esteem. But when you are walking through a store and catch a glimpse of yourself in the window – your self-esteem enters a terrifying downward spiral. This, in turn, makes you seek solace somewhere – with something. I have found solace in several things throughout my life – sex, shopping, and mainly food. None of which are actually doing anything to help the situation – they only feed the flames.
Fast forward through 15 years of compulsive overeating, terrifying and detrimental personal relationships, dozens of different diet attempts, looking for love all the wrong places – using relationships as a means for making myself feel loved, desired, and beautiful, millions of mistakes in every facet of life, tons of health problems, blaming everyone else but myself…
And then there was Jesus. I found the real Jesus in 2012. He was always there, in my life, that little voice in my head and my heart telling me that I was putting my faith and trust and control into all the wrong things. I believed in Him for most of my life, except for a short period of time when I thought I wanted to be a Druid or Wiccan or something "goth." (Ah, youth.) No matter what questions I had or doubts I faced in the truth of the scripture, I always went back. The problem was, I was never in it 100%. It was always an addendum to my life, not the nucleus. I used it when I needed it and forgot about it when things were going well. Then, I started college again.
I have always been interested in science, and always felt like you could have both science and faith. I took classes in Psychology and began to surround myself with more science-minded information. When you start to read and learn about science, you learn quickly that for many people, and in many publications, there is absolutely no room for faith in the study of science. They are constantly and consistently trying to use science to debunk Christianity. Why they can't live and let live, I have no idea. However, it's there and so I began to question my faith. "Maybe it's not true. How could this be real?" Those thoughts began to seep into my psyche. But instead of changing my mind, they pushed me to look for the connection. I found a church that went well with my Bible-based Christianity in order to bolster my faith, and I began to search for other like-minded individuals. A few years later my efforts have been fruitful. There are societies and associations dedicated to the interconnection between science and faith virtually everywhere. I am not the only one who believes this way. Faith and science work together quite well, as long as you stop trying to use one to debunk the other. The Lord is smiling on me. I feel like I have something to look forward to now, not a life full of tedious battles between my mind and my heart. They are now on the same page, and I am moving forward with that.
My health is still a concern. After a whirlwind of life has gone by, including a happy marriage (after some difficulty and bad decisions, I assure you) and a renewed faith, I still struggle with food. I'm still learning to eat better. I'm still learning to exclude the bad stuff from my diet. I try and fail, but I pick back up where I fell and keep on moving. So here I am, reshaping who I am from the bottom up, and you are along for the ride.
Is the story not what you expected? Did you expect me to have some deep-seeded issue with which I must contend before I can go forth? Well, I am sorry. I am through blaming other people. Yes, I have my share of problems. Who doesn't? Who hasn't been through something terrible that affects everyday life? I certainly have. Many things. And there are a lot of things that I wish could be different, things I wish I didn't do, things I wish I did. There may be different characteristics I wish my parents had instilled in me, or ways they might have raised me differently (better eating habits, more physical activity, and financial smarts, to name a few.) But I have no desire to rehash the past. No desire to blame my parents for things over which I now have the control. It does no one any good.
It's all me. And while I am responsible for how I got here, I know that the only way I can recover, change, get better, become better, is with the help of Jesus Christ. My goal, first and foremost, is to serve Him. To be a good steward of all He has given me. I cannot do that at 315 pounds. I am certainly not being a good steward of myself, who God created in His image. Once I learn to point every single aspect of my life in that direction, the rest will fall into place.
So here it is. The pointing of everything in His direction. I hope you can learn from both my success and my failures. I hope we can encourage each other as we find a path to righteousness, and to health, and to science. I hope I can provide some research and links to help others reconcile the fact that faith and science are not at odds, they work hand in hand. Faith helps us reach for the stars, science helps us get there.
Throughout these pages you will find personal stories about me and the state of my life, you will find scientific information and research, done by me or others, and you will find faith-based information, advice, and research. All of it forms the nucleus of my life, and all of it is firmly based in a love of Jesus Christ.
I welcome you into my little world, and I pray for all of you that you can find help and solace within Him, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please, pray for me, too.
"So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that's where the action is. See things from his perspective. Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you'll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ. And that means killing off everything connected with that way of death: sexual promiscuity, impurity, lust, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and grabbing whatever attracts your fancy. That's a life shaped by things and feelings instead of by God…" Colossians 3: 1-7 (MSG)


text: Kimberly Veirs Examines EEOC Guidance on Workplace Retaliation Employment Relations Today Publications August 9, 2017 In an article published in the Spring 2017 edition of Employment Relations Today, Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Kimberly Veirs discussed ways employers can avoid retaliation claims in her article "Avoiding Workplace Retaliation: Guidance for Employers." Workplace retaliation remains the most commonly reported complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by U.S. employees across all industries. Following a slew of these claims and high-profile court cases, the EEOC issued detailed enforcement guidance in August 2016 – its first such guidance since 1998. With workplace retaliation included as one of the commission's substantive priorities in the Strategic Enforcement Plan for 2017-2021, the EEOC remains focused on ensuring that employees and job applicants are able to challenge discrimination without fear of retribution. The 2016 guidance addresses a number of standards for employers to consider to avoid retaliation enforcement from the EEOC. To get started, there are a number of best practices employers should adopt to legally comply, such as ensuring that any disciplinary actions are taken for legitimate, nonretaliatory reasons. To help with this, employers should have anti-retaliation policies and maintain detailed documentation on reasons for employee discipline. "Human resources departments should review this documentation regularly to ensure that supervisors and managers are addressing disciplinary issues consistently within a company," said Kimberly. The full article, "Avoiding Workplace Retaliation: Guidance for Employers," was published in the Spring 2017 issue of Employment Relations Today and is available online or in the PDF below.

Learning Yoga – Tadasana
In our last article in the yoga series, we spoke about Sukhasana. After relaxing the body and mind in Sukhasana, one may start with some exercises which help in stretching the body. Tadasana is named after the palm tree and depicts a posture when body is brought into a position by vertically stretching it to maximum. This is a very good asana to improve one's posture.
Please go through the method and benefits of doing Tadasana in the following sections.
- Stand in a position of attention with legs only slightly apart to keep the feet parallel and arms straight on the side.
- While breathing in, raise your arms in a forward movement with both arms parallel.
- Keep your arms upward by interlocking your fingers.
- When the arms are fully raised, raise your ankle to get a feeling as if your hands are touching the sky.
- Keep the raised arm position as long as you can while you hold the breath.
- Get back to the original position while breathing out and repeat for as long as you can.
Benefits of Tadasana:
- It is known to be one of the best exercises to increase height.
- Provides strength to arms and legs.
- Improves posture by giving strength to vertebral column and heart.
- It has a positive effect on all organs including heart and lungs.
- Helps women in regulating the menstrual cycle.
- Helps in curing indigestion.
- It reduces the problem of flat feet.
- It develops the ability to concentrate.

4 stars out of 5
The kindle edition has 45 pages. It took me about 20 minutes to completely read it. It consists of multiple explanations for why the Black Death started. It also talks about plague doctors and literature works that resulted from the plague. It briefly discusses persecution due to religious beliefs. Most importantly, the timeline goes through different outbreaks.
Pro: The structure of the book starts with the Black Death, then the second pandemic, and ends with the third pandemic. This allows the reader to understand that there was more than one outbreak. Great book for those wanting to learn a little about the Black Death.
Con: While this little book is comprehensive, some of the events mentioned are very brief. So, if you are looking for a book that is more in-depth when it comes to different pandemics then this book is not for you.

Galleys of Give the Drummer Some Just Arrived!
Galley/review copies of my new novel Give the Drummer Some just arrived. We're planning a release party in August when the novel becomes available for sale, and a tour in September and October!
Give the Drummer Some tells the story of Mouse Watkins, leader of the Bad Apples—the funkiest old school soul band in St. Louis. For twenty years, he's been laying down smoking grooves, tasty rhythms and gutbucket funk in dance clubs up and down the Mississippi, always one break away from the Big Time. But Mouse is starting to wonder if his break will ever come.
Mouse's best friend has disappeared with the Bad Apples' last dollar, his tour van won't start and a groupie stole his only warm coat at the band's last show. Now, with no stomach for starting over (again) and a bleak winter on the horizon, Mouse washes up in East St. Louis, exactly where he started two decades ago. His dreams have come to nothing. Or have they?
Give the Drummer Some is an odyssey into the heart of pop music and the soul of St. Louis, a book about the choices all artists, even great artists, have to make when the brilliant spotlight of stardom fails to shine on them.
I'll announce details of the release party and tour when I know them. In the meantime, take a cue from the Godfather of Soul and Think (about the Funk!).

Many globally active companies have internal translation resources ranging from in-country reviewers to internal translation teams. There are many advantages to having dedicated language resources, including their intimate knowledge of the company's style, voice, technical terminology – all which help protect their brand around the world. As with any form of vertical integration there are tradeoffs with scalability, cost-efficiency, speed, and possibly not having the best-in-class tools and processes that specialist firms offer. To make sure you are getting the best from your internal resources and in particular, preventing all of your knowledge from "walking out the door every night," here are a few tips and best practices.
Some companies find themselves facing sudden demand for localized versions of their products, marketing materials, manuals, website, or other content. Often, they locate someone within the company that speaks the needed language – and the in-house translation team is born. Since this person may not be a trained translator, some of the basics might be overlooked. Creating and maintaining a company Glossary and Style Guide formalizes and codifies language choices that the translator (and any future translators) may make and ensures vital consistency for internal terms-of-art and nomenclature.
Similarly, the use of modern Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools might be overlooked. We don't mean Machine Translation (MT), but instead a translator's workbench that provides a streamlined environment to perform translation and automatically applies the company glossary for consistency. It also uses Translation Memory (TM) which automatically recycles previously translated sentences and helps suggest translations for similar phrases. A basic CAT tool provides great benefit for quality, speed, and internal-cost savings – your internal translator should not be spending time (and money) translating the same sentence over and over – a common situation for documentation and website revisions.
An added benefit of working with CAT tools is it helps establish best practices for translation process. For example, they encourage more robust import/export routines for software (external resource files), websites (XML), and documentation instead of the trap of using an Excel spreadsheet for translated strings or error-prone cut/paste into page layout software.
Internal teams bring valuable continuity and unmatched company/product knowledge to the translation process. However, when faced with large volumes of translation and tight deadlines, it's very difficult for them to exceed the typical throughput of 2,500 words per day - that's only about 10 pages of text. While they might be able to reach higher productivity levels for short periods, without a second set of eyes to check the translation the potential for simple human error creeps in. For larger volumes of translation work, consider partnering with a professional translation services firm. Since you will have an established glossary, style guide, and translation memory, these will help with consistency and quality. For many clients, their original internal translators become "language leads," responsible for review, answering language-specific questions, and otherwise maintaining the company's language intellectual property investment. (For more tips, see "Making the most of In-Country Review")
It is a luxury to have internal translation resources. By using simple best practices of a Glossary, Style Guide, and CAT tools, your firm can adapt to increases in volumes and languages more efficiently. Partnering with a professional translation provider is a way to bring scale – and can also provide benchmark metrics for cost-efficiency (words/day of output/dollar) with the benefit of fully variable costs. Some firms may let your internal teams use their CAT tools bringing you the best of both worlds. Let us know how we can help you get the most from your in-house team, we'd be happy to share our experiences.

As I reflect on the past five years of working for SVG, one of the most satisfying aspects has been knowing that thousands of people have benefited from the projects facilitated by SVG. I am genuinely so happy that their quality of life has improved. With years of meeting the individuals involved in our programs, I have often wondered what it would be like to participate in a program that changed my life.
My opportunity came this summer and my life has been changed.
Last year I applied for the 2015 Ford Motor Company International Fellowship of 92nd Street Y, a three-week capacity building program that has been supporting NGO leaders from around the world for the past 15 years. The acceptance letter arrived in January and in May, I arrived in New York City, home to thousands of NGOs and new social innovations. Flying in from Shanghai, I joined 23 NGO leaders from 9 countries including Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Israel, Kenya, Malaysia, Poland and the US. The three-weeks were fully packed with site visits, classes, workshops, and group discussions. The time was also well balanced with city sightseeing, team building and personal time. Now that I've had time to reflect on the experience as a whole, two words stand out: commitment and community.
I still remember Ms. Alison Gardy's answer of my question at the end of my final round interview. "Have you ever thought of moving on?" Alison is the Director of International Relations at 92nd Street Y (the Y), a Jewish community center and one of the sponsors of the fellowship. I asked this question because Alison told me she has been the Director of the fellowship for the past 15 years. She never once thought of changing jobs because of her passion for this fellowship and NGO development.
At the end of the fellowship, I understood what has continuously driven Alison's unwavering passion and dedication. After 140 years of development work in the Big Apple, the Y is now a cultural and community center providing a wide spectrum of events and activities for its local community. Ford Motor, a supporter of the Y for nearly 30 years is a co-investor in the fellowship. The fellows have previously asked Henry Timms, the Executive Director of the Y, what makes sponsors motivated to continuously donate to such a costly program? (The participating NGO leaders all feel strongly that the administrative costs of the program should be lowered as the program covers all costs for the participants.) He said many people asked the same question and his response is always the same. We believe in you and value the huge impact you make through your organization. We need to invest in you first so that the impact can be greater.
In addition to the financial investors, Columbia University, Yale University and many other individuals and organizations have contributed their time and resources by delivering priceless lectures and seminars. The commitment of this fellowship's supporters has great influence on the fellows and the social sector.
Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing - Rollo May
This was my first time attending an international NGO fellowship. Before arriving, I listed 10 goals for my time during the fellowship and the first was to try to better understand my new friends and fellows - them as individuals and the culture they come from. It turned out that I did not need to try. The friendships formed very naturally, which was even more evidence to me that those working in the social sector do have the innate gift of compassion. Early in the program, the Y staff and the fellows formed what felt like a real family. Alison admitted that there was no need to encourage the fellows to ask questions or propose new ideas. The fact was that we almost talked too much! Conversations and discussions started from breakfast and continued well after dinner and I felt energized from them.
One of my favorite times was when we discussed case studies. In a small group and with a professor from Columbia University as a facilitator, we shared barriers we experienced at work and discussed actions we could take to resolving these issues. Surprisingly, I found that even though the members of my group were from around the world, there was no difficulty in understanding each other's context and situations. This was beyond my expectation. There are many similarities among these countries' social sector. Though we were from different cultures, communication was clear and we became advisors to each other. The intensive three-week program was just the start to friendships built with genuine trust. I know the conversation will continue and that I have a new family at the Y.
Overall, I believe the social sector is not a closed industry. Those involved understand that inclusivity is key and drawing from different industries is an important powerful dynamic to shaping the sector. During the fellowship, I met with NGO leaders, university professors, investors, religious leaders, corporate executives, social entrepreneurs, and artists. The second day of the fellowship, Henry Timmes gave a speech on 'Understanding New Powers." Many new business and social models present a vibrant "Co-" element: co-funding, co-sourcing, co-create, co-owning. These powers form a strong community that supports NGOs as they grow.
After I returned from what almost seemed like a boot camp, I am still reflecting and processing the large volume of information I received during the fellowship. I keep asking myself how can I apply this both in the future and now? Working in China's social sector can be lonely because the sector is still in its infancy and not well understood by the public. My hope remains in the growing number of individuals who are showing a strong commitment to strengthening their community here. Like how many springs and streams seem weak, as they merge even the smallest stream can become a deep and strong river.

New Apple TV: Siri and the App Store are the stars of Apple's new set-top box
Apple is re-entering the living room with the 2015 Apple TV, a new set-top box that streams video, plays games, and uses Siri to answer your every entertainment whim.
The last time Apple upgraded its living room hardware was more than two years ago, and even that was a minor refresh of the 2012 Apple TV. The new version is a significant upgrade, packing more powerful hardware and a full-blown app store.
Return of the puck
While the basic shape of the new Apple TV hasn't changed, it is about 10 mm taller than its predecessor, presumably to make room for all the added computing power under the hood. Gone is the crusty old A5 processor, and in its place is a 64-bit A8 chip. Around the back, there's HDMI and Ethernet, but apparently no optical audio output.
Similar look, new apps
At first glance, the new Apple TV sports a similar interface to that of its predecessor. A strip of recommendations sit on top, followed by a list of apps underneath.
The big difference now is that there's an entire App Store, rather than a preset list of Apple-curated selections. Streaming media apps such as Hulu and Netflix will be present, as they were on the old Apple TV, but Apple is also inviting new kinds applications that aren't strictly about entertainment. Gilt, for instance, will let users go clothes shopping on the big screen, while Zillow will launch an app for real estate hunting.
Apple is referring to its television software as "tvOS," and will offer a software development kit for app makers.The interface also has a refreshed the look and feel of the software, ditching the staid black background of the old Apple TV, and using lighter colors and transparency effects.
Beyond the visual interface of Apple TV lies one that's entirely controlled by Siri, Apple's virtual assistant. You can use Siri to open apps by voice, or ask for specific movies, TV shows, or actors. Drawing on iOS 9's cross-app search features, Siri will be able to dig up content from individual apps such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, and Showtime.
While Apple TV isn't the only media streamer with cross-app search, the secret sauce with Siri is its ability to interpret natural-language requests, even highly specific ones such as "Show that Modern Family episode with Edward Norton." You can also ask for specific genres, and narrow down the search with requests like "just the latest."
A new kind of remote
The new Apple TV remote is a sharp departure from the previous one—and from all other media streamer remotes, for that matter. Instead of directional buttons, Apple's remote uses a touchpad for navigation, letting users swipe to move through menus quickly or scrub through video playback.

JAKARTA - MNC Group, through its subsidiary PT MNC Land Tbk ( KPIG ) plans to build a hotel in Ramallah , Palestine. The development is collaboration with the Palestinian Economic Council For Development and Reconstruction (PECDAR) of the State of Palestine.
Deputy Director of MNC Land, Budi Rustanto said this is not the first cooperation carried out by the company. Previously, cooperation with United States (US) hotel chain has been established as well.
"The development in Ramallah isn't a new thing. We've been cooperating with other countries, such as the Westin in Nusa Dua, Bali, Oakwood in Surabaya, Park Hyatt and Trump , "he explained in IDX Channel, Wednesday (25/52016)
According to him, after doing Memorandum Of Understanding (MoU), the company immediately formed a team and work plan. Though not new, it's still need to be prepared in order to achieve goals and suit with the segment.
"Our experience in MoU with other operators is already commonplace, but still how this could achieve goals and segments, firstly we formed team and work plan, " he explained
Rudi added, even though Palestine ensures security issues there, but it will do the maturation of the concept to minimize the risk. However, he claimed to be optimistic with the cooperation.
"Palestine guarantees the security issue is not a problem, but we make a business model first in order to see the risks. There is indeed a new area, but we're optimist. We don't see from the profit's view, but the cooperation of the two countries," Said Rudi.
